We show that this superfamily, in addition to the well characterized P60-related peptidoglycan peptidases, includes divergent cell-wall hydrolases typified by AcmB/LytN, eukaryotic proteins such as LRAT, Egl-26 and their relatives, amidase domains of GSPSs, and several other uncharacterized bacterial proteins.
The AcmB/LytN-like family
Two major subfamilies within this family, typified respectively by AcmB and S. aureus LytN, are predominantly restricted to the Gram-positive bacteria, and function as cell-wall hydrolases.
The phyletic distribution suggests that the AcmB/LytN-like family emerged early in the Gram-positive lineage, through rapid sequence divergence.
The first recognizable secondary structure element in this domain is an α-helix that is present in practically all members of this superfamily, with the exception of a few members of the AcmB family from Staphylococcus aureus (Figures 1, 2), where it appears to have entirely degenerated.
